The cell membrane, which is a structure surrounding the cell, controls the passage of nutrients, water, and oxygen in and out of the cell. It acts as a selective barrier, allowing specific molecules to pass through via processes like diffusion or active transport.

A cell uses the cell membrane as a protective barrier that controls the entry and exit of materials into and out of the cell.
The vacuole stores water and nutrients in a cell. It helps maintain cell structure and provides support.

larger particles get into a cell using endocytosis/phagocytosis
Mitochondria
Chloroplasts
Endocytosis, particularly, phagocytosis because the amoeba surrounds the food particle and engulfs it. The food particle is then enclosed into a food vacuole inside the cell where it can be accessed when the cell needs food.
